Literature/media student from germany that loves movies.
"Wouldst thou like to live deliciously?"
Hands down the best installment of this series.
This movie isnt as much about the horrors that befall the city, its more about the human condition to find hope and light amongst the darkest of places. Its a poetically, emotional, beautiful and heartbreaking coming to terms with ones own mortality but still forging on towards the little lights of hope at the end of the tunnel. No matter how mundane. We humans have this power to find strength in something as simple as pizza or the gentle gaze of the worlds best behaved cat.
What do i want from movies? To escape reality.
This movie does that. Given the setting of Gothic literature, there definitely are traits of toxic relationships. Even horror. But to reduce this material to one way of interpreting it, applying it to reality and claiming, that all this movie does is glorify those topics - then i believe this is cutting away 98% of this Artwork.
For some it might be triggering, but that doesnt make this movie bad.
This…
This was so well made, it sticks with me. The performance of Charles Melton makes everything so heartbreaking. Its not a comfort movie but its hauntingly well played out.
Robert Pattinson is acting it out of the house.
The Story is very touching beneath a sheen veil of comedy that makes the absurdity for what he endures even more hard hitting.
I saw a lot of myself in him. Part anxious and abused, part angry and protective. Both are him. Parts become a whole and that is seen by the person that truly matters most.
I did flinch and cringe at some parts, but thats just what Bong Joon Ho does best. His visual language is visceral but the topics he portrays are fundamentally human
So the horror genre likes to take things that we humans are scared of and multiply it.
The colors, the architecture and the scenes are visually very compelling and they took a very heavy topic to spin the narrative around. To see her keep going around in the ferris wheel without ever doing anything compassionate for herself is hurtful. You just want her to snap out of it. Like why do ALL OF THIS? just for public approval. How much…
What in the hell is going on in here on this day? (And im not talking about non-vanilla sex)
A) Homegirl dont even ACT like you are poor. You have a damn kitchenisle??
b) Yall are doing so damn much... and infront of the damn SUSHI?
c) Homeboy needs THERAPY.
What is this subplot? My loooord... Twilight deserved better. Meyer was atleast brave enough to incorporate the spice of religious-trauma™
